We all know that dogs can’t talk, even though we wish we could communicate with our furry friends and hear their innermost thoughts and feelings. Despite this, they can find other ways to ‘speak’ to us through body language, and sometimes even barks.
Jude, however, is a talking Beagle thanks to his owner Michelle Marotta, and he has a whole system that he’s been taught how to communicate through, meaning he can ask for certain things, such as letting his owners know when he’s hungry and wants to be fed.
However, when his owners were out, he asked Alexa for something sweet because he wanted to relax and have time to chill out.
His owner explained in the caption of his video that it was one of his “new buttons,” and he loved using it.
When Jude trotted over to his buttons, the machine exclaimed, “Alexa, play Jude’s music”. His owner explained that sometimes it doesn’t go to plan, however, and Alexa mishears what it says.
In the caption, Michelle wrote: “Jude has a few new buttons… this is one of them. He presses it often. He especially seems to like listening to music to relax.
“I have a playlist set up for Jude called ‘Jude’s Music’ – a mix of Disney and Pixar songs, acoustic folky covers of various songs, some Beatles songs (Hey Jude, of course!), and other easy listening genres.
“I add to it regularly. Sometimes Alexa correctly plays his playlist, and other times she hears ‘Play Juice Music’ which has been a nice alternative that we both enjoy”.
Amazingly, Jude knows a whopping 86 words thanks to the Fluent Pet system, who are “on a quest to realize the potential of cats, dogs, and other animals through the use of sound buttons”.
When people saw Jude’s reaction to the music, however, they thought it was absolutely adorable, saying that seeing the Beagle settle down and chill was “heartwarming”.
Someone wrote: “Aw I like how he settles himself down for a relax!”
Another added: “Like he just got off work after a hard day and needs to decompress!”
“This is just so awesome, enlightening, comforting and brilliant! Jude is one smart cookie!!” a dog lover gushed.
The band Juice, which is “Juice Music” even commented on the video, saying: “SOLID song choice Jude! Full approval from us”.
A man penned: “I love this so much, this would melt my heart to watch them do this on camera while I was away”.
Somebody else joked: “If my dog were able to have a button to play certain music dog would not have calm music. He was obsessed with crazy hard rock when he was a puppy, and if he hears something like country music, he hates it. He is a rockstar dog, anything emo, punk rock, heavy rock he loves it”.
